[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VFIAX and VTSAX are almost identical. Why not add small cap, or better yet, international like VTIAX?[/quote] The whole point of a Roth is to accrue untaxed gains. Has international ever had more gains than total US stocks or gone up when US stocks went down?[/quote] Absolutely. Prior to 2009, international and US stocks had similar performance. You aren't very diversified if you invest in one country. But correlations have been fairly high over the last 20 years for large caps, so you are probably better off investing in small cap if you add international. [/quote]
